Sore Throat (Pharyngitis) Pharyngitis is primarily caused by bacteria and viruses. When evaluating a patient with a sore throat, it is important to differentiate pharyngitis caused by Group A streptococcus (GAS) from that caused by other pathogens. GAS is the most common cause of pharyngitis that is treatable with antibiotics.During the winter, approximately 15-25% of all cases of pharyngitis in children will be due to streptococcal infection. In adults this number is closer to 10%.hen evaluating a patient with a sore throat, it is important to differentiate pharyngitis caused by Group A streptococcus (GAS) from that caused by other pathogens.

Silver Solution Uses â 83 Applications Many germs can cause pharyngitis. Viruses are the most common cause of pharyngitis. Soreness brought on by viruses usually develops gradually, with little or no fever. A fever over 101 for more than three days is more likely to be strep throat. Multiple cold or flu symptoms accompany a viral infection, while strep throat usually does not cause multiple symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and congestion. A bacterial infection like strep throat (caused by Streptococcus infection) often comes on suddenly with high fever. Tonsils are red, swollen, spotted with white or yellow dots. Citrus juices, such as orange juice, often burn the sore throat caused by a virus, but are usually not painful to strep throat.
